About the practice

HKR Architects was established in 1992 and has since grown to become a leading international architecture practice with offices in London, Dublin, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. HKR is commercially astute, agile and constantly looking to innovate, bringing exceptional value and design leadership to our clients, delivering outstanding buildings and places with a team which has local and international reach and a deep understanding of working across diverse markets and locations, making HKR architectural consultancy for the new global economy. Our work is influenced by five core design principles: PLACEMAKING We ensure that the building draws inspiration from its surroundings and enhances them, positively contributing to the quality of the local area. INNOVATION We use our technical and sector expertise to create genuinely innovative architecture that is developed from sound first principles. EFFICIENCY We design the client’s building to be attractive, highly functional, with the best commercial attributes possible. SUSTAINABILITY We ensure that the building not only meets all current environmental requirements, but also is capable of meeting the potential requirements of the future. ELEGANCE By developing a three-dimensional concept of the building, we make sure that it meets the client’s expectations, as well as the functional, economic and aesthetic requirements of the brief. All our directors and their teams provide sector specific specialist advice. This enables us to keep ahead of national and global trends and to provide a bespoke service to our clients to suit the specific needs of any individual project or brief, however specialised that may be.
